Top Safety Accreditation Awarded To MaxTag (UK) Limited

Tagmax (UK) Limited is one of the latest group of successful companies to join a leading edge scheme, designed to help industry improve its safety record.

The Reading based firm recently received accreditation from SAFEcontractor, a programme which recognises very high standards of health and safety practise amongst UK contractors.

Employing over 20 people, Tagmax is principally involved in the Design, Supply and Installation of Security Solutions including Security Tagging, Real-time Location Services, Secure Display Monitoring and Cloud CCTV systems.

Specialising in the Retail and Commercial Sectors, Tagmax’s most recent clients have included major players such as The Co-operative, Sports Direct, H&M and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

The company’s application for SAFEcontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.

“We wanted this accreditation to send a message to our clients that we are a quality company that operates in a safe and professional manner. We invest a lot of time and effort into doing things the right way. We are delighted to have been awarded this accreditation and to be able to add this Safe Contractor logo to our literature and signage on our vehicles”. Said Steve Heritage, Service and Installation Director at Tagmax.

SAFEcontractor accreditation is expected to enhance the company’s ability to attract new contracts and its commitment to safety will be viewed positively by its insurers when the company liability policy is up for renewal.

SAFEcontractor is applicable to most sectors although it is particularly relevant to food manufacture, property, facilities management, retail and leisure sectors, all of which are big users of contract services.

John Kinge, Head of Risk at SAFEcontractor said, “Major organisations can no longer run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies”.

“More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Tagmax has done. The firm’s high standard has set an example, which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector”.

Under the SAFEcontractor system, businesses undergo a vetting process, which examines health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice. Those companies meeting the high standard are included on a database, which is accessible to registered users only via a website, <a href="http://www.safecontractor.com
